Caring for Your Indoor Bulbs
Inside or out, daffodils are a sign of spring
To help brighten the first days of spring, Estabrook's has a great selection of potted bulbs. Our tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths will make a colorful addition to your home and make you forget unseasonably cold weather.
Choosing a Location
Once you get your bulbs home, take a minute to think about where the best place would be to put them. Bulbs are a spring plant that bloom during the time of year when the sun's rays are less intense, and are also tolerant of cool temperatures.
Your bulbs will be happiest in a spot that is well lit, but does not receive a lot of direct sun. The flowers will also last longer if you are able to move them into a cooler room at night. The warmer the temperatures in your home, the faster the flowers will go by.
You will want to check them for water on an almost daily basis. Your bulbs should be kept moist, but not wet.
Transferring to the Garden
After your bulbs have gone by you can choose to discard them or plant them in the garden. Some types of bulbs will recover from forcing better than others. Tulips may not flower again, but daffodils often bounce back very well.
If you want to try to keep your bulbs for another year, you should cut the spent flowers off and continue to water the bulbs until your garden is ready to be worked. Once planted outside, allow the foliage to die back naturally. If you cut the foliage off too early the bulb will not have stored enough energy to make it through the winter.
They might not bloom their first spring in the garden but give them another year and they should come back beautifully.
